Kanye West is gone. After filing a file to change his name, rapper Kanye Omari West finally got his request and will legally call it "Ye."
Documents seen by CNN confirm that Judge Michelle Williams approved the change in California court Monday after the rapper filed a petition to change his name in August.
Kanye hinted at the change back in 2018, when he released his studio album Ye, tweeting a few months later: "The official name is Kanye West." I'm YE. ”
In an interview with radio host Big Boy, Kanye said he believes "ye" is "the most commonly used word in the Bible, and in the Bible it means 'you.'" Some Chinese netizens believe that Kanye must know the meaning of "Ye" in Chinese, and in 1987, as part of the Fulbright Scholarship, Kanye's mother, Donda, was a lecturer at Nanjing University. So he must have known the meaning of "Ye" in pinyin before he deliberately did it.
Kanye's name change is just one of several recent major shifts in his life: His wife, Kim Kardashian West, filed for divorce in February after the couple had four young children who had reportedly been separated for some time.
The musician also released his highly anticipated album Donda in August. According to Billboard, it topped the Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart for the first time, making him the seventh artist to top the 10-album chart.
The 44-year-old rapper's other tito may be a "performance artist" who regularly plays masked singing with fans, and guess what it has been in the past few days. Recently, after a performance in Venice, Italy, he wore a mask, and the next day near the Venice airport, he photographed Kanye wearing a different mask, which looked gray and white, which was creepy. Apparently, his all-white mask is a nod to Fantômas, a character in a 1964 French comedy film.

Just this Monday, someone photographed him arriving at New York's JFK Airport with a new mask, this time a "prosthesis." He was still wearing a black Balenciaga jacket, and he was seen getting into a taxi.
Later that day, Kanye showed off a dramatic new haircut makeover on social media. His head seems to have been partially shaved, but there is still a part of the obvious design, and it can be seen that the hair in the back of the head is shaved into the symbol "¥" "Ye" and then openly admitted that this is the art writing of the new name, so to speak that this is the logo.
Kanye put on the mask because he wanted to "have some privacy," his friend explained to him:
"Kanye is there to keep people from recognizing him.... As soon as we sat down for a while, he was surrounded by people who wanted to take pictures with him and say hello to him, so he put on a mask so that others wouldn't recognize him. But it doesn't seem to work. ”
To make a long story short, Kanye has always "gone his own way", such as throwing the Grammy Trophy into the toilet, running for president, etc., everyone has long been accustomed to it.
In recent months, Kanye's thirty-six change mask shape has become a topic of discussion among fans and the media, and the original braaclava hood and more exaggerated full-face mask that were originally a tool for winter cold protection have been all the way to the summer, and a small group of die-hard fans have been found in the market.
Maison Martin Margiela designed a couture series mask.
When he released "Yeezus" in 2013, he often saw the rapper wearing a variety of diamond-encrusted and lavishly decorated masks, many of which were couture series masks designed by the famous brand Maison Martin Margiela.
On the Yeezus tour the following year, Kanye changed four Masks in a row, and as for why he was keen on this style, Kanye once said in a public speech at that time that wearing a mask could hide himself and focus on music, which was the only time he publicly explained why he insisted on shaping such a look.
Back to now, just a few days ago, when Kanye went to Venice to attend the wedding of Alexander Arnault, the second son of LVMH, Kanye carefully prepared a new mask. Looks like a mask worn by The Front Man of Squid Games
In addition to his fans being influenced by him, the two have lived together for a long time, and they will also hear about it, no, at the recently concluded Met Gala Kim Kardashian also chose the masked style, or even the upgraded version, wrapped from head to toe, is the inspiration for this style derived from the Man in Black in "Detective Conan"?
Prior to his trip to Venice, Kanye's separated wife, Kim Kardashian, spent $20 million in cash to "buy" the marriage house they had lived in for seven years. Kim filed for divorce with rappers in February, and despite recent reports that they were planning a resurgence, sources later dismissed the claim that separation now appears to be just around the corner.
